Fabretto Children Fundation

***** Fabretto enables impoverished Nicaraguan children and their families in underserved communities to break the cycle of poverty and reach their full potential through programs promoting nutrition, health, education, community and character development. We are three organizations of dedicated staff members working together in Nicaragua, the United States and Spain to assist the youth of Nicaragua. We are hundreds of volunteers who share their time, knowledge and skills to help us meet our programmatic and fundraising goals. We are thousands of individuals, organizations and foundations that support our work with financial contributions, in-kind gifts, and donations for our silent auctions. But most importantly, we are countless dreams of education, health and community improvement come true for the children and families that we serve. The Cusmapa Pine Basket Initiative is a micro enterprise operated by women in Cusmapa, Nicaragua. Many of these women have few, if any, marketable skills, and even fewer opportunities to learn any. This program provides them with opportunities for income development of mew skills, and pride in their achievements. Each basket has a tag signed by the weaver. Your basket purchase will not only provide funding for the cooperative as a whole but will also directly benefit the health, education and nutrition programs of the Fabretto Children's Fundation.
